JWST 282 - Israel/Palestine in Literature and Film II (Post-1967)

This course continues to survey the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through literary and cinematographic arts. It proceeds chronologically, beginning after the Six-Day War/Naksa until the present, and focuses on major events and crises, including the 1973 Arab-Israeli War/Yom Kippur War, the Israel-Lebanon Wars, the Palestinian Intifadas, and the 2023 Hamas-Israel War. Students will gain a fine-grained understanding of aesthetic developments and movements within their historical and cultural contexts. Note: This course may be taken on its own; however, it is recommended that students enroll in it as a continuation of CMPL/JWST 277.
